Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1

View Stats:
This game was developed for PS5
Before you go overboard and buy the Premium Edition on Steam, understand that this game was designed with the PS5 in mind. That is the BEST place to play this game. On PC, you are getting a version with microstutters and cutscenes that run in 30fps at low resolutions. If you have a 4K monitor, you will IMMEDIATELY notice the degradation in image quality and performance while playing story mode - which is a shame because this i the BEST story mode every created within the Mortal Kombat franchise (except for the last 20-30 minutes).

But, the rest of it is PHENOMENAL. Just don't go into a purchase on Steam because of FOMO on Shang Tsung. NRS tying Shang Tsung to a pre-order bonus was unfortunate. This is one time where the PC Master Race needs to understand that we do NOT have the best version of this game.

I have a 4K monitor and play the game at 4k. Not experiencing any performance or quality issues and story mode was fine except for the final chapter which was a little choppy during some of the later cutscenes

It's not as bad as you say.
The 30 fps lock for non playable situations it's also present on ps5, for the rest on pc looks better if your hardware allows it, I play with no upscaling at 60 rock solid fps, all max settings.
I also want you to notice that the 30 fps lock for cutscenes, menu and fatalities was removed in mk11, I bet they will remove it here as well.
An official fix for the cutscene is coming (look at steam news), most people fixed it changing 3 settings in the nvdia control panel (I did it too).

There is only 1 thing in which ps5 it's superior: the playerbase. There are many more people playing there, but apparently we are also going to get cross platform at some point.
Honestly, for me, the multiplayer it's not even a factor, I don't play competitive so I don't really care, but you cam consider this as well.

I like how people on Steam forums automatically negate criticisms of game performance. if the game was properly optimized for PC, I would have said it and even given it praise. But it's not and people should be aware before they buy.

While I refunded it on Steam, I do plan to keep it on PS5 because that has the best performance.

I also think we need to stop talking about 9/19. The game is out now for people who could afford to spend $100 on it. All of these early access tactics that publishers are using now is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. That's the launch IMO and Shang Tsung was tied to that launch. If the game is not working on the day it is first made available to the public, that is a problem.

How do I negate criticisms if I also spoke about the current problems? They are not as bad as you want them to appear tho, I even mentioned the fixes for some.
As for performances:
ryzen 7 3700x
32gb ram
rtx 3080
Looks and runs perfectly, the 30 fps lock for cutscenes, as I said, it's also present on console that runs with lower details. That said: it's you exaggerating the problems not me negating them.

With some fix on PC the game is running great most of the time. I wish they really put more time on PC. Still the dont understand why there is 30fps cutscense locked on PC again, Anyway enjoying the game on PC.

Throwing out random PC specs and saying the game works perfectly for you and you don't notice any problems is directly negating what I said and far too typical of average Steam forum participants. I should block your silly a$$, but I'm feeling generous.

If your eyes can't perceive frame drops and stutters and visible changes in frame rate between fighting sequences and cutscenes, then you are truly blessed.

Meanwhile, there are those of us with slighter better hardware than you have who have problems on PC that are not present on the PS5 version.

I'll put you over my knee and butter your muffin. Then we will see who needs to earn respect.
